Root traits associated with resource foraging, including fine-root branching intensity, root hair, and mycorrhiza, may change in soils that vary rock fragment content (RFC), while how these covary at the level of individual order is largely unknown. We subjected two xerophytic species, Artemisia vestita (subshrub) Bauhinia brachycarpa (shrub), to increasing RFC gradients (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, v v...

Abstract Background Hair follicle density influences wool fibre production, which is one of the most important traits Wan Strain Angora rabbit. However, molecular mechanisms regulating hair have remained elusive. Results In this study, at different body sites rabbits with high and low production (HWP LWP) was investigated by histological analysis. Haematoxylin-eosin staining showed a higher in ...

Morphological characterization facilitates the seed production agencies to identify varieties on phenotypic basis by their distinguished characters. The presence of sufficient variability for various agro-morphological traits, as well improvement these traithrough selection and introduction new alleles, lines, accessions into breeding activity from both exotic indigenous collections, aids in id...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate heat tolerance using heat tolerance indices, physiological, physical, thermographic, and hematological parameters in Santa Ines and Morada Nova sheep breeds in the Federal District, Brazil. METHODS Twenty-six adult hair sheep, one and a half years old, from two genetic groups (Santa Ines: 12 males and 4 females; Morada Nova: 7 males and 3 female...

Hybridization produces strong evolutionary forces. In hybrid zones, selection can differentially occur on traits and selection intensities may differ among hybrid generations. Understanding these dynamics in crop-wild hybrid zones can clarify crop-like traits likely to introgress into wild populations and the particular hybrid generations through which introgression proceeds. In a field experim...
